[ Upstream commit ce51c817008450ef4188471db31639d42d37a5e1 ]

The functions iscsi_if_set_param() and iscsi_if_set_host_param() convert an
nlattr payload to type char* and then call C string handling functions like
sscanf and kstrdup:

char *data = (char*)ev + sizeof(*ev);
...
sscanf(data, "%d", &value);

However, since the nlattr is provided by the user-space program and the
nlmsg skb is allocated with GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ZERO flag (see
netlink_alloc_large_skb() in netlink_sendmsg()), dirty data on the heap can
lead to an OOB access for those string handling functions.

By investigating how the bug is introduced, we find it is really
interesting as the old version parsing code starting from commit
fd7255f51a13 ("[SCSI] iscsi: add sysfs attrs for uspace sync up") treated
the nlattr as integer bytes instead of string and had length check in
iscsi_copy_param():

if (ev->u.set_param.len != sizeof(uint32_t))
BUG();

But, since the commit a54a52caad4b ("[SCSI] iscsi: fixup set/get param
functions"), the code treated the nlattr as C string while forgetting to
add any strlen checks(), opening the possibility of an OOB access.

Fix the potential OOB by adding the strlen() check before accessing the
buf. If the data passes this check, all low-level set_param handlers can
safely treat this buf as legal C string.

Fixes: fd7255f51a13 ("[SCSI] iscsi: add sysfs attrs for uspace sync up")
Fixes: 1d9bf13a9cf9 ("[SCSI] iscsi class: add iscsi host set param event")
